Some travelers roam the world because of their love of photography. There is something quite invigorating and fulfilling in capturing the earth’s wonders into still photos. It is often assumed that in order to capture amazing and intricate travel photos, a lot of camera gear is necessary. This is a drawback in travelling because camera equipment is more often than not, difficult to carry around. The tips below will shed some light on how to resolve this dilemma.

“Everything was calm. The sun was shining. I was swimming in the deep. And then, when I surfaced twenty years later, I discovered there was a storm, a whirlpool, a blasting gale lifting the waves over my head. At first I wasn’t sure I’d make it back to the boat and then I realised I didn’t want to make it back to the boat. Chaos is supposed to be what we most fear but I have come to believe it might be what we most want. If we don’t believe in the future we are planning, the house we are mortgaged to, the person who sleeps by our side, it is possible that a tempest (long lurking in the clouds) might bring us closer to how we want to be in the world…Life falls apart. We try to get a grip and hold it together. And then we realise we don’t want to hold it together.” The Cost of Living, by Deborah Levy a book I have been engrossed within this week. This was part of an autobiographical project by Levy, something she calls ‘a working autobiography‘, it’s a mediation on marriage, death and writing. Levy is a woman of our times, she confides in the reader, giving an account of her internal life, which to many, is so much more interesting than their external life. This is a book that hits hard and fast, in some ways, not so much a memoir as an eloquent manifesto or what Levy describes ‘a new way of living‘ and thus mobile photography and art, represents ‘a new way of seeing‘ and this is as clearly apparent in this weeks showcase as it is in the post-familial world. Enjoy!

There are widespread reports that the number of people with a side hustle is increasing at an unprecedented rate, and google searches for the term ‘side hustle’ up 62% from 2017 to 2018, there’s plenty of evidence that more people are embracing their entrepreneurial side.

However, new research by mobile tech brand HONOR has revealed that young Brits in particular are making money in more creative ways, with a little help from their smartphones.

Over half of those surveyed (55%) revealed that they have a side hustle, including jobs such as buying and selling clothes or blogging. Among those with a side hustle, almost a third (27%) use it as a way of supplementing their income with a further 89% arguing they couldn’t successfully do their side hustle without the use of a smartphone.

The research, conducted among 2000 18-24 year olds, identified some of the most popular ‘side hustles’ the younger generation are turning to, to turn their passions into profit.
